This data input and output step also allows the CPU 30B of the shock absorber control unit 2 to output data to the other control units 1 and 3.
- the data input and output step allows the CPU 30B of the shock absorber control unit 2 to receive the vehicle speed data, the steering data, the brake pedal data, the transmission neutral position data, and the shock absorber selected mode data from the engine control unit 1 which were derived from the signals outputted by the vehicle speed sensor 10, the steering sensor 11, the brake pedal position sensor 12, the transmission neutral position sensor 13, and the shock absorber selected mode sensor 14.
- the data input and output step also allows the CPU 30B of the shock absorber control unit 2 to supply the engine control unit 1 with the fuel quantity data which was derived from the signal outputted by the fuel sensor 20.
- the data communication portion of the program controlling the CPU of the other control unit 3 is basically similar to the data communication portion of the program controlling the CPU 30A of the engine control unit 1.
- the previously-mentioned data communication allows the transmission of the fuel quantity data from the shock absorber control unit 2 to the engine control unit 1.
- the data communication also allows the transmission of the vehicle or engine operating condition data from the engine control unit 1 to the shock absorber control unit 2.
- the engine control unit 1 controls the fuel meter 16 in accordance with the received fuel quantity data so that the fuel meter 16 indicates the fuel quantity detected by the fuel sensor 20.
- the shock absorber control unit 2 adjusts the actuators 21 in accordance with the received vehicle or engine condition data.
- the shock absorber control unit 2 adjusts the stop lights 22 in accordance with the received brake pedal position data so that the stop lights 22 are activated when the brake pedal is depressed.
- the engine control unit 1 and the shock absorber control unit 2 are connected via a data link.
- the shock absorber control unit 2 can be supplied via the engine control unit 1 and the communication wire W with the vehicle or engine condition data derived through the sensors 10-14.
- the engine control unit 1 can be supplied via the shock absorber control unit 2 and the communication wire W with the fuel quantity data derived through the fuel sensor 20.
- the vehicle communication system of this invention generally has a smaller total length of connecting wires than that of a conventional point-to-point type vehicle communication system.
- the interfaces 35A and 35B are of the serial type, connections of the interfaces 35A and 35B to the CPUs 30A and 30B generally require a small number of wires.
- the small total length of connection wires allows the vehicle communication system to occupy a small space.
- the small total length of connection wires is also advantageous in protecting signals from noise.
